FIRST COAST COMMUTER RAIL TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) STUDY – WORKSHOP 2 COMMENT SUMMARY
encourage development around the stations.
Anyway the grand takeaway would be to expand this development opportunity across the tracks and US-1, maybe go for .5 - 1 mile radius instead of .25 . Also include multiuse paths that can be extended/tied into for future development and connectivity.
Ugly project that should not be built
Looks great.
Spend the money to fix Philips highway traffic!
What comments do you have about the proposed Baymeadows examples?
The commercial center should be similar to mellody farm. The residential development should be similar to, the station on Washington in Minneapolis, IN .The public realm should be similar to the commercial plaza in Los Angeles, CA.
Waste of money.
No train.
All in all the photos are great, Not the Vernon Hills stuff - way too much surface parking, I'd rather a parking structure or an empty grassy lot. Definitely not the exact thing these developments and TRANSIT are trying to replace which are pavement pits/p arking craters. The Alpharetta development, especially among Avalon blvd is much more tolerable and something not to strive for, but acceptable given the suburban requirements of life sucking vehicles. I would encourage more replication of Avalon Blvd, any of the wonderful streets in Savannah, local Brooklyn development, Fivepoints. Something that I think does get overlooked when accommodating for vehicles, if you over accommodate for vehicles and make it really easy to drive to and from these developments, you WILL be killing the success and effectiveness of transit... Then no one will use it. Please keep that in mind. I think the mixed use development should be structured similar to a Main Street with limited parking in the center, with a focus on the pedestrians in the shopping center. And parking to be in the surrounding areas near the cross streets.
